"Fills the gap between big data and classic data warehouses."
"They are available on the Cloud, and the platform is very intuitive."
"The solution offers strong scalability opportunities."
"Our primary use case is for gathering data and analytics. We provide insights into vehicle data. We gather millions of records per second and we have various millions of vehicles running across."
"It is a fantastic product; we are satisfied with its features and performance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics is the capabilities, and the integration with other Azure resources, such as Data Factory, Databricks, and Spark for data processing. The overall ability to compose the solution with other Azure resources is valuable."
"It's feature-rich. It has a wide range of features."

"Releases of new products and functionality is never accompanied by associated documentation, training and resources that adequately explain the release."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"Its stability is an issue. They have been releasing a version every six months to one year, which means that there are many versions available, and clients are not up to speed on the latest one that they're offering. From a stability point of view, they could do better. They're still upgrading their Synapse Analytics workspace, and it is not that stable. Its scalability can also be better."
"It would be of interest to improve things like the web service integration and availability in terms of being easy to create internal web services in the database."
"From an infrastructure standpoint, I believe it can be more secure in terms of availability."
"It would be beneficial to take the top vendors and identify some kind of straightforward action to work with them. Instead of having to employ a separate vendor tool to be able to move this, it would be nice to be able to go through Microsoft."
"The need to improve a little bit in terms of user-friendliness."
"This is a young product in transition to the cloud and it needs more work before it is both settled as a product and competitive in the market."
"The support and price could improve."
"It's a complicated product."
